“The great question for our time is, how to make sure that the continuing scientific revolution brings benefits to everybody rather than widening the gap between rich and poor. To lift up poor countries, and poor people in rich countries, from poverty, to give them a chance of a decent life, technology is not enough. Technology must be guided and driven by ethics if it is to do more than provide new toys for the rich.” PeopleIfsGivingCountryEnoughChancePoorPovertyTechnologyRichRevolutionBenefitsEthicsDrivenLiftsOur TimeDecentGapsToysContinuingPoor PeopleRich And PoorPoor CountriesRich CountriesDecent LifeScientific RevolutionNew Toys Author:Freeman Dyson

“I came from a background where I was very poor growing up but I have never known poverty. My parents worked hard and they went to bed hungry, but they fed us. Then my father became an ambassador, so I ended up being driven by chauffeurs. And then we became refugees. After that, I looked at it through this "glass" of to have and have not, and at the end of the day, who actually helps, who actually steps up, who is there for you.” EndsHardHelpingFatherParentPoorKnownStepsPovertyGrowing UpGrowingBedGlassesDrivenHungryBackgroundsThe End Of The DayFedsRefugeeStep UpAmbassadorsAnd At The End Of The DayChauffeurs Author:Iman Abdulmajid

“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck.” PeopleThinkingMenSometimesHappensPoliticalPoliticsKnownPovertyConditionsNormalCreatingLuckLibertarianDrivenTinyMinoritiesPermitSlipsNow And ThenNormHere And ThereDespisedBad Luck Book:Time Enough for Love Source: Time Enough for Love
